Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I’m assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

    For Codeberg, they don’t allow commercial projects. You of course have Forgejo (which is what Codeberg utilises), and many open-source developers have been moving to it. I’ve also heard some projects switching over to GitLab as well, which is corporate-owned, but I believe has a self-hosted option that gives people a little more control. But for many people, GitHub works fine as it is and don’t want the hassle of transferring their projects, commit history, issues, etc. over.
